I received my Summer 2008 copy of “Mickey Monitor” (the Disney annual passholder newsletter), and I was excited to find some sneak peak tips about the new Toy Story Mania ride that’s opening in Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World and Disneyland this summer. 

The ride is schedule to open in Walt Disney World at the end of this month.  I can’t wait.  Passholders can go to a Passholder Preview on May 10th-12th from 9 am to 7 pm each day and when they show their Annual Passes and Photo IDs, they can ride Toy Story Mania before it opens to the public.  I did this for Expedition Everest, and frankly, the line was longer than if I had just waited a couple of weeks after it opened to try it.  But that’s another story entirely.

Here are the Toy Story Mania tips revealed in “Mickey Monitor”:

• Each guests spring-action shooter has an unlimited supply of “virtual projectiles”, so you can keep shooting at targets without having to reload.  In other words, don’t stop shooting if you want a high score!
• There are many higher value targets hidden in out of the way spots such as at the top, bottom and sides of each booth.  Shoot in all different directions to increase your score!
• There are special targets called “two-stage” and “multiple-stage” targets.  If you hit one of those targets, they trigger higher value targets.
• “Easter eggs” are “extra-special two-stage targets”.  These sound like they offer the ultimate payout!

I can’t wait to try Toy Story Mania and look for some of the special targets, especially those Easter Eggs!
